Entity Home Website

Entity Home Website

coined by Jason Barnard in 2019.
Description
An Entity Home Website is the official domain and website an entity owns and controls, which serves as the authoritative source of information about the brand and hosts the specific Entity Home page.
The Entity Home Website definition
Jason Barnard explains that while the Entity Home is the single most important page for an entity, the Entity Home Website is the entire domain that houses it and acts as the brand's digital headquarters (or hub). It is the primary first-party asset and the cornerstone of a brand's online presence. The entire website—its structure, content, and technical setup—contributes to the authority and trustworthiness of the Entity Home it contains. For AI Assistive Engines, the consistency and clarity of the entire Entity Home Website reinforces the claims made on the Entity Home page, building Algorithmic Confidence.
How Jason Barnard uses Entity Home Website definition
At Kalicube, establishing and optimizing the Entity Home Website is a foundational step of The Kalicube Process, Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy. We ensure the entire website is structured to serve as a "brand control hub". This involves creating a meaningful site structure, optimizing the Entity Home (typically the "About" page), and building out supporting content sections that corroborate the brand's expertise and offerings. Our proprietary KaliTech layer is implemented across the Entity Home Website to ensure all content is presented in the Native Language of Algorithms, making the entire site a hyper-performant source of truth for The Algorithmic Trinity.
Why Entity Home Website matters to digital marketers
For years, content marketing pioneers like Joe Pulizzi have championed the strategic importance of building an owned media platform rather than "building your house on rented land" like social media. Jason Barnard's concept of the Entity Home Website is the technical and strategic application of Pulizzi's philosophy for the AI era. While Pulizzi focused on building an audience asset, Barnard's framework emphasizes building an algorithmic asset. In the age of AI-First Search, AI Assistive Engines require a single, authoritative source to use as a point of reconciliation for all the information they find about a brand across the web. If a brand does not have a well-structured Entity Home Website, the AI is left to guess, leading to brand hallucinations and misrepresentation. Therefore, having a fully optimized Entity Home Website is the fundamental requirement for controlling your brand narrative in the Conversational Acquisition Funnels.
